Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein B (Apo B) is a component of chylomicrons, low-density lipoproteins (LDL), very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), and intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDL) and is the ligand for the LDL receptor. Thereby, Apo B plays a central role in lipoprotein metabolism and in maintaining the normal homeostasis of serum cholesterol levels. Several Apo B restriction fragment length polymorphisms (XbaI, EcoRI,...
